Configuring a Remote Unit from the Central Site 4-7
there should be NSAP entries, NRIP entries and Autocall entries in the
table.
5

It is normal that no NRIP or NSAP table entries are added on the
remote unit.
6
Enter CO IS AUTO IPX to check the entries in the IPX Autocall table.
7
Enter SAVE to save the new configuration.
Whether or not the SAP entries have nearest server as an entry
under options is dependent on whether or not the local server field
in the Connect To Novell Network screen was set to Yes or No.
If there several SAP entries in the IPX Autocall Table with the Bridge
Parameters Nearest Server field set to Enabled, the entries can be
edited to show only one nearest server entry, which will then receive
the Get Nearest Server requests from a Novell client workstation.
If none of the entries in the IPX Autocall table have a
Nearest
Server
entry and there is no local server, the Novell client will not
receive a GNS response and it will fail to log on to any server.
If the IPX Autocall table has a 1 in the hops field, it indicates the
presence of the software router in the Novell server. This parameter
confirms that IPX packets are never truly bridged because a true
bridging environment shows the number of hops as zero.
Test the IPX Autocall Table
To test that the IPX Autocall table is functioning correctly, run a
Novell client on a computer at the remote site to see if that client can
access the server located at the central site.
Configuring a Remote Unit from the Central Site
A unit at a remote site can be remotely configured for IPX and
bridging. The remote management and configuration capability
allows the unit to be configured from the central site, without the
need for a technician to travel to a remote site.
